These are the points that may get the attention of House Republicans:
"But worst of all are the reasons for why our government is making us wait. . . . Our government’s present administration decided to broaden the grounds for individuals who came to the US against our laws, to have legal status here. We refer to the programs called, “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals”(DACA) and “Provisional Waiver”. This has opened the floodgates of USCIS to applications, including I-130 petitions for legal residency, from them. We have discovered, for example, that the slowdown of green card (I-130) processing corresponded with the January 2 announcement, and March 4 starting date of the “Provisional Waiver” program. . . . Those who are here illegally, and are invited to apply for legal residency, are relatives of US citizens, and already with their families. In contrast, we followed the law, and subsequently, are separated from our spouses who are abroad, while we wait for our petitions to be approved. The slowdown in the green card processing, due to this influx of immigration forms from those who did not follow the law, keeps us separated from our spouses longer."
If there is any truth to this the House Judiciary Committee and/or the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee might be interested in looking into it.
Hi nessieness,
My intent is not to complain about why other processing timeline is faster than the other; the only intent is to bring attention to how the USCIS mismanagement is impacting the I-130 application of the spouses of US Citizens. Just like you said, I do not want to get into the K1 vs K3 debate in a letter, the letter needs to be precise and focused on only 1 issue; then I am hoping (big hope) that they know what is the real problem.
Well said
In case you guys haven't stumbled upon this yet...
It seems that they are finally taking some actions. As of 10/21 they began transferring I-130 files from NBC to other service centers because of the workload.
Hopefully we can see some approvals soon!
